[00:29:06] S0: I would say, I think as every journey is so unique and you might think you know it, but the reality is there’s so much that unknowns are going to come in front of you. Of course, you have the past experience to able to go and deal with the unknowns, but that doesn’t change the degree of the unknown and stuff like that. For me, it’s been a ton of learning in this one also. It’s like what we thought was true was not really true. Then we had to go pivot and pivot and really get to ultimately where the pain is and where we can find repeatability and so on and so forth. I think being humble, being very grounded, you’re going to have your ass kick, doesn’t matter what happened in the past. You’re going to have your ass kick. Just be prepared for that. It’s not going to get easier. It’s always hard and going to remain hard. It doesn’t make it easier. Maybe some aspects get easier. I’ve talked about fundraising type stuff and you knowing what to put on a deck. All those things might be. But otherwise, execution-wise is still as hard. Really, I think those are things you have to internalize and know about, whether you’re doing it first time or second time. You’re lucky you get that 5, 10 years ahead of you. Then make sure that you’re always very focused, really not trying to hear what you want to hear, but really what’s happening out there, being intellectually honest.
